    In a way, I'm envious of your newfound ability to discover this aspect of modern (pop) culture. I didn't know there was ANYONE that DIDN'T know who Brad Pitt is. That kind of blows my mind. That means not only are you discovering actors... you are discovering a whole history of evolving techniques and ways of storytelling through these movies that a lot of us just take for granted.

    Multiple personality disorder used to be called just that: multiple personality disorder. Now it's disassociative identity disorder. It's never been called schizophrenia, but, it's a very common mistake in fiction and among the layperson to get the two things confused. Schizophrenics suffer from a break from reality, they have delusions, hear voices, sometimes see things that aren't there, are often paranoid (think the government is out to get them, animals are listening to them talk, people are following them etc), and in general live in a fantasy world. Schizophrenics do sometimes also have dissassociative identities but not always or even often. Schizophrenia is also a lot more common than DID.

    5:20 "oh come on Ed, take one for the team" ... haha... in the novel, Ed's character actually does have sex with Chloe. I think they probably took that out of the movie both because a) it's not really important for the story, and b) all the sex negativists out there in the audience (shame how common those are) would have turned on him for "exploiting" a woman in a vulnerable position, ignoring that Chloe really wanted to have sex and he was doing her a favor...

    Brad Pitt was married to the actress who played Rachel on Friends, Jennifer Aniston, when he appeared on Friends. Which is why it was so funny that he was a member of the "I hate Rachel Greene" fan club. He was also one of the biggest actors on planet earth in the 90s and 2000s. Some of his best films besides Fight Club include Legends of the Fall, Seven, Ocean's 11, Moneyball, Spy Game, and Inglorious Bastards. Edward Norton has great films too, including Primal Fear, Rounders, Keeping the Faith, American History X, and The Illusionist. Fight Club is one of my favorite movies of all time. So glad you are watching it!!
    Edit. The psychological thrillers among the films I just mentioned are Seven, Rounders, Spy Game, and Primal Fear. Also, if you haven't seen The Usual Suspects, then you definitely need to put that at the top of your list.

    You should see Edward Norton's debut film, Primal Fear (1996). Great psychological thrillers/dramas (in addition to Primal Fear) would be Momento (2000), A Beautiful Mind (2001), Shutter Island (2010). You should also watch some more M. Night Shyamalan films, probably in this order: Unbreakable (2000), Signs (2002), & Split (2016). Some may disagree with me, but I also like Lady in the Water (2006) and The Village (2004). There is another VERY WEIRD movie I would recommend-Being John Malkovich (1999)-but you need to first be familliar with the actor, John Malkovich. For that I would suggest the following three films: In the Line of Fire (1993), Red (2010), and Of Mice and Men (1992) (though this one maybe not for your channel, just on your own). (If you wish to watch a third one on your channel, you could watch Burn After Reading (2008) or Man in the Iron Mask (1998).

    I think you should add American Psycho to your list. It's a great companion piece for Fight Club, another psychological thriller peppered with absurdly humorous (or humorously absurd) scenes. It presents its own critique of unchecked consumerism and thrill-seeking, but it's different enough that you won't get bored. Great soundtrack and very quotable dialogue.
    For something slower and more serious, Hitchcock's Vertigo is great. It's also a very beautiful film. Fight Club has a decayed beauty, Mona Lisa falling apart under fluorescent lights, but Vertigo has a kind of beauty you can appreciate as beauty. Hitch's Rear Window is another great thriller. That one isn't slow and serious, it's lively and fun. And that's a really neat trick, since the star is confined to a wheelchair in single room.

    If you only know Brad Pitt from Friends and now Fight Club then it's time for you to watch 12 Monkeys (1995) Sci-Fi thriller. From one Iowan to another :) This is one of my top 10 favorites.

    definitely watch this movie again on your own time. theres so many small moments that are hidden that you only notice once you already know the twist.
    A lot of people are suggesting the same movies. Let me change it up and request Signs (2002). Its one of my favorites, and it does have a bit of a twist/psychological element to it. Plus its a farm family in the middle of nowhere, its perfect for you

      when my mother and I watched this film in theaters for the first time... the first thing we did upon finishing it was look at each other and say "want to go see it again?" We were in the next showing...
      only other time we've done that I think was when we saw Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

    My senior year a few friends of mine started a fight club, it was weird, in a normal fight you’re defending yourself or some people are assaulting someone with illegal intent etc , people hate each other , all that but we were all friends so nothing that could cause serious injury like kicking heads, stomping , gouging eyes was allowed or even thought of, no hitting in the balls , no sweeping knees etc, it was essentially boxing and jiu-jitsu but with no gloves or pads and we steered clear of things that would cause damage. Now I know a single punch to the head does do damage to the Brain in increments but we just fought for who t e hell knows why. Weirdest part is jsut like this , when it was over you could call it at any time yourself and your opponent helps you up, usually hugged ya and you both end up talking about the fight laughing or cursing but you were friends. We all became better fighters over time and while we’d steer clear of dangerously damaging stuff, parents got involved when the black eyes , bruising of the face got excessive , then words of the Police being called by a parent broke it all up but our small group had 32 kids by the time it was done. We heard this happened all over after this movie came out so I’m sure we were jsut 1 of manyyyyyyy clubs. Looking back it was so damn stupid! As a golden give boxer since little I shoulda known better but we all do a ti pod things as kids. I think anyway?

    This film was such a revelation to me. When I watched it the first time, I knew the quotes, but I did not have the context. I went into it blind and I believed that it was going to be about a fight club. Boy was I caught off guard. I love this movie and I think it is so well made. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt have such amazing chemistry with each other. I also like that this film does not try to fit into any particular genre and it does a great job of telling a story and building to a conclusion that you don't really see coming until it happens.

  • @nooneofconsequence1251

    Ed Norton is one of my favorite actors by far. I liked him in Hulk. Loved him in this. But he's also really really good in... American History X, Primal Fear, The Score, Birdman, the Grand Budapest Hotel, and Keeping the Faith. Among other things.
    Brad Pitt - it's hilarious you only know him from Friends. He became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood after his breakout roles in Thelma & Louise, 7 Years in Tibet, and a River Runs Through It. Became famous as a pretty boy but then really proved he had serious acting chops, too, in 12 Monkeys for which he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Other good roles of his include Se7en, Fury, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Fury, The Big Short, 12 Years a Slave, Moneyball, Troy, Inglorious Basterds, Snatch, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Ocean's 11, and Interview with the Vampire. All great movies.
    Helena Bonham Carter I think I might have first seen in this movie... but, yeah, most people know her from Harry Potter. She married Tim Burton once and acted in some of his movies including Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
    Meatloaf is Meatloaf.
    The director of this film David Fincher is also really good... he also directed The Social Network, Gone Girl, Se7en (also with Brad Pitt), Zodiac, Panic Room, The Game (which I know you reacted to before), and the US remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. All great movies. A lot of them are psychological suspense type movies, too, which seems to be his specialty. Maybe you ought to check out more of his stuff.
    The author of the novel Fight Club is a guy named Chuck Palahniuk. Interesting guy who writes interesting book. The only other film adaptation of one of his works that I know of is 2008's Choke... which is okay but not as good as Fight Club. Similarly weird, though.

    There are only three films that I consider as my favorite -- not because of the plot or character development, etc. -- but because of the underlying philosophical truths that these movies espouse. The three films are: (1) Fight Club -- "you are not special" and "do not let your possessions end up possessing you", (2) Dead Poet's Society -- "seize the day" and "constantly see things in a different light", and (3) Shawshank Redemption -- "hope is the best of things" and "get busy dying or get busy living." Though in this case, the plot is really really good.
